Maine offers pesticide disposal opportunity

Mainers are being urged to take advantage of an opportunity to get rid of banned and unusable pesticides for free.

The Maine Board of Pesticides Control is teaming up with the Department of Environmental Protection on a program that allows homeowners, family-owned farms and greenhouse operators to dispose of old pesticides they have hanging around. Officials say it's not unusual for people to have chemicals such as DDT, lead arsenate and chlordane that are no longer usable or legal.

Officials plan to set up four sites around the state in October where participants can take their unwanted pesticides, which will then be sent to out-of-state disposal facilities.

Forty years ago, one of the greatest boxing matches in history took place in an unlikely setting: the capital of the Philippines. Muhammad Ali's epic win over great rival Joe Frazier in 1975 became known as the "Thrilla in Manila."

Hillary Clinton did not have a State Department email account while she served as America's top diplomat, a senior state department official said Monday, and instead used a personal email account during her four years on the job.
